Gracie-Sapp Heavyweight Bout Set for One FC 2 on Feb. 11

A heavyweight tilt between Rolles
Gracie and Bob Sapp is
expected to be part of One Fighting Championship’s Feb. 11 event.
Sherdog.com received news of the bout via text message from
Gracie’s management late Sunday evening.

Emanating from the Kelapa Gading Sports Mall in Jakarta, Indonesia,
One
FC 2 "Battle of Heroes" is the first of 14 scheduled fight
cards in 2012 for the Signapore-based promotion. Other expected
participants on the 10-bout card include URCC bantamweight champion
Kevin Belingnon, Danish muay Thai specialist Ole Laursen,
WBA boxing champion Yodsanan
Sityodtong, Strikeforce
veteran Igor Gracie
and Deep
welterweight champ Yuya Shirai.
It will be the first professional mixed martial arts card in the
Indonesian capital since 2008.

The 33-year-old Gracie was unbeaten in two outings in 2011,
submitting Braden Bice
with an arm-triangle choke in April and using the same move to
dispatch Lee
Mein in October, with both finishes coming inside of a round.
The Brazilian fell to Joey
Beltran in his lone Octagon appearance in 2009, succumbing to
the “Mexicutioner” via technical knockout in the second round at
UFC
109.

A fan favorite in Japan, Sapp last competed on Dec. 16, suffering a
first-round TKO loss to Maro Perak.
The “Beast” has fallen on hard times of late, losing six of his
last seven fights. The hulking K-1 veteran’s only win during that
time frame came against Sascha
Weinpolter in March 2010.
